Shimla, Feb 28
A Shimla-based researcher, who
picked holes in Isaac Newton's laws of motion, Albert Einstein's mass
energy equation and Archimedes' principle, Saturday sought debate on his
work on fundamental laws of science.
"The Ministry of Science
and Technology should initiate debate as this work will make India
superpower in fundamental laws of science," Ajay Sharma, assistant
director for education with the state government, told IANS.
On
National Science Day, the 52-year-old was honoured by the state
government here for his work on generalising the fundamental laws of
physics.
Sharma's second book, 'Beyond Einstein and Emc2 (mass
energy inter-conversion equation)', was published by the Cambridge
International Science Publishers.
Earlier, his book "Beyond Newton and Archimedes" was published by the Cambridge.
Sharma
said Einstein was not the original propounder of the theory of
relativity -- rather he took work from existing literature and published
it in 1905 in German journal 'Annalen de Physik'.
"Many people
will be surprised that Einstein's work was not peer reviewed before
publication. The first postulate of relativity was given by Galileo in
1632 in his book 'Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems',"
Sharma said.
According to him, Einstein took this opportunity to
publish the work of Galileo (1632, principle of relativity), Poincare
(1898, constancy of velocity of light), Lorentz (1892, variation of mass
etc), Larmer (1897, time dilation) and Fitzegerald (1889, length
contraction) in his own name.
Sharma pointed out significant limitations of Einstein's Emc2 formula derived in 1905.
"The
atom bomb is based on it. The mathematical derivation of this equation
also predicts that when a candle burns then its mass must also increase
in some cases. It's not correct. Thus equation is derived in other way
de=Ac2dm, the new equation is generalised mass energy equation and
Einstein's equation is its special case," he explained.
Einstein
obtained the equation for 'rest mass energy' under the condition when
the first equation is zero -- thus the rest of the equation is
non-existent.
"It is never justified that first equation is zero
and final equation is non-zero (rest mass energy). Such limitations are
pointed out for the first time," the researcher said.
The paper
"Isaac Newton, Leonhard Euler and Fma", written by Sharma, stressed that
'Newton's second law of Motion (Fma) was never given by him.
"Newton
gave a velocity dependent force and Euler an acceleration dependent
force. If the magnitudes of equations of force Fma and F2ma are equal,
then it implies 12, which is not true," said the paper published last
year in international journal "Physics Essays".
Further studying
elastic collisions of bodies, Sharma said mathematically and
conceptually in the third law of motion, action and reaction are not
always equal. Thus accordingly, the third law of motion is generalised
as 'to every action there is opposite reaction but may not be always
equal'.
"This ('Beyond Newton and Archimedes') is the first book
which generalises the 2,265-year-old Archimedes' principle and
330-year-old Newton's laws," he added.
